The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman is seeking information from the Denver technology company that managed Hilary Clinton’s private email server.
“Given that the server was used to conduct official State Department business, questions have been raised regarding whether classified information was stored on the private server,” Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) said in a letter to Platte River Networks President Treve Suazo, obtained by McClatchy. The FBI has already visited the Platte River Networks company headquarters.

The committee wants to know, “if that data was secure, who had access to that material and whether all official documents were appropriately preserved.”
Clinton’s presidential campaign announced earlier this week that the former secretary of state was turning over her private email server to the FBI, which is reviewing whether any of the information sent through the personal system was classified. Clinton asserted earlier this year that she did not send or receive any classified information on her server. However, the intelligence community's inspector general recently said two emails on the server were classified as “top secret.”
Clinton said she turned over all her official emails to the State Department before she wiped the server, containing about 61,000 email. Clinton said she deleted about half of the emails because they were personal.
